WTF is a “girls toy” or a “boys toy” for a 3yo anyway? Right there we have part of the issue.
Posting to say this too ^
I think people are conflating “children challenging our ridiculous gender stereotypes”, with people being transgender. Getting upset that a little boy wants to wear a dress to school is, frankly, idiotic….. as is labeling that boy as transgender.
Why do we insist that children of different genders play with different toys, play different games, dress differently, have different haircuts etc etc? At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious: it seems to me that most gender identity issues are being driven by us anyway.
When I was at school in the 90s the (relatively strict) school had to change it’s dress code to allow girls to wear trousers. I can remember not understanding what the hell all the fuss was about.
